Once they reached the tree house, Metro instantly knew something was wrong. Firstly, the door was broken, every room looked like a mini hurricane had recently been having a party, every door in the house was open, furniture had been moved, every hiding place that Metro knew of had been searched.

"Ok," shouted Andrew as he drew his bow, "What happened here!?"

Blob was already sensing something bad had been here since he was whimpered badly. Frank rushed over to his room.

"Whoever came here better not have been stealing my priceless dirt blocks," muttered Frank as he searched his chest full of useless stuff.

"What's the guy's problem with dirt blocks?" James asked Andrew.

"I don't know, but whatever has been here knew that Metro left the house," smirked Andrew.

"Hey!" protested Metro, "I'm not that important."

"Oooooo," said Timmy as he spotted an obsidian torch, "I wonder what this does."

As if on cue, a purple flame flared in the mouth of the torch. Andrew's expression turned aghast.

"Gimme that!" gasped Andrew as he snatched the torch out of Timmy's hand, "This is a demon torch. Metro, have you been..."

Andrew trailed off in thought.

"What?" asked Metro in concern.

"We need to add more security measures," muttered Andrew to himself as he paced around the room, "We need a buddy system. Dammit, I wish Ella was her. Lock all doors at night..."

"Andrew!" shouted Metro, "Why are you muttering to yourself!?"

"We need Ella," muttered Andrew as he continued to pace around, oblivious to Metro, "It's the only way we can enforce the the security."

Andrew turned to James, who was tidying up the mess.

"James, you need to go with Metro to the dungeon to find that mechanic," commanded Andrew in a tense voice.

James slowly turned towards Andrew in disgust.

"Who said you could order me around like that!" moaned James, "Besides, I just got here!"

Andrew's face was contorted with fear and anger. He shot James a dirty look but he held his ground. Metro suddenly understood what was the big deal.

"Andrew, we can completely defend ourselves from whoever this jackass is, who wants to kidnap you," reassured Metro but he wasn't reassured himself. Andrew sighed and crashed onto the couch.

"You're all good friends but this is for everyone's safety, Terraria's safety," sighed Andrew as he put his hand on his forehead. There was a long pause. Surprising, it was Timmy who spoke first.

"I agree with Andrew," piped Timmy as he fiddled with his life-jacket strap, "We need to be more cautious from now but... I don't think it is a good idea to send James with Metro. I'll volunteer."

Metro still wasn't reassured by Timmy. Sure, he pissed off a gargantuan Slime with an over-inflated ego but a kid isn't the most ideal accomplice. Yet again, Frank will probably pester Metro to buy things from him until he was driven insane.

"Alright Timmy," muttered James, "But Andrew, at least give him some armor and heart crystals."

Andrew muttered under his breath. He tossed Metro two shiny red crystals shaped like hearts.

"What are these?" asked Metro as he inspected the crystals.

"Those are heart crystals, if you eat them, they'll permanently increase your HP. I've go a spare set of iron armor in the basement. Hopefully, you'll find some chests along the way that have some recall potions," said Andrew almost robot-like. Metro glanced at Timmy who was admiring a rainbow fish in a bowl and went to the basement.

When they left, Metro already knew that this wasn't a good idea. Timmy kept on getting distracted by large bodies of water and tried to catch some fish. Metro found several chests near the Corruption with healing potions and money. He even found an umbrella but no recall potions. The Corruption was meaner than usual. Eater of Souls kept plaguing the duo as they made their way through the purple grass.

"Why is this place so evil?" shivered Metro as he felt the darkness thicken around him. Timmy threw a blue knife at an eater who was getting too close. Blob was unusually timid as he was sticking to Metro's boot.

"This is a fraction of how annoying this biome can be," muttered Timmy as he made a face to the eaters, "No happiness, light, smiley faces and no goddamn edible fish."

On that happy note, they forged on until they met a chasm that almost looks like a gaping maw. Possibly every eater in the Corruption was here, circling the trio.

"Great," muttered Timmy as he threw his arms in the air, "We're cornered. What's in there anyway?"

Metro hadn't came across this chasm. He realized that the only way out was down. He grabbed Timmy by the arm and took out his umbrella. The eaters surged forward, hungry for souls unsurprisingly.

"YOU'LL NEVER TAKE US ALIVE!" yelled Metro as he, Blob and Timmy plunged into the darkness.
